Wow, I guess I have a little different take on this. I don't believe that there is no quality in the RV industry. My $400,000.00 house has walls that are not straight and some cabinets that had to be adjusted. It even had some sheetrock that cracked as it settled. My house does NOT go down bumpy roads at 65-75mph. As for the quality of new cars, I guess my experience has been different than some of you. I bought one new pickup in my life. Over 3 years and 32k miles I was towed in 9 times! My wife and I bought a new Nissan Altima about a year and a half ago. It has had 3 recalls, the stereo failed, the left rear window squeaked something terrible when going up and down and the right front strut has failed already. I still think it's a really nice car, but it only has 12k miles on it. I have owned many new RV's including 4 Arctic Fox models. I live where there are some earthquakes and the way I look at it is that when you are towing that "box" down the road for an hour and a half it would have a similar effect as having a constant hour and a half earthquake shake and rattle my house. I wonder what my house would look like then?
Sure, the RV industry could use some better quality control, but in the 13 brand new RV's I have owned, I have never had a major failure. I have never had to have one back in the shop 9 times in 3 years. In fact, none of mine have had as many problems as my Nissan has had already so I for one am pretty happy about my RV ownership experience.
